Troy-Bilt 160cc 21" Cut Gas Push Mower MODEL#:11A-542Q711

by Josh
(Graham, NC, USA)

This is an excellent lawn mower. I've had it for six months now and I have no complaints. I purchased the mower from Lowe's for $240 plus tax. I also had a 10% off coupon for being a new homeowner . It comes from the store pre-assembled and out of the box you can be mowing in no time at all. It even comes with the oil. The large back wheels make navigating hills and turning very easy.

My yard is quite hilly so this was essential. The plastic comfort-grip bar that you hold down to make the mower mow is quite comfortable to hold and has not yet given me any blisters. The engine is a honda which as far as I am concerned is the best engine you can buy.

The bag is high enough off the ground that you are not constantly dragging it and is easy to empty. I read that Troy-Bilt's mowers with small back wheels had problems with bags dragging and eventually tearing. You don't have to worry about that with this mower. Its light weight also makes it easy to push even up really steep hills. I have noticed that when you turn the mower rather quickly, it sounds like it is about to turn off.

I am sure this is just sloshing of gas, or a safety feature to turn the mower off if it flips over. It has never actually turned off and has never caused me any problems. I would certainly recommend this mower.

by: Brad

I bought the Troy-Bilt this past summer when my old mower cut out on me (no pun intended). Anyway I was in need of the new lawn mower and did not want to get one that may be just a one season deal.

I have a fairly small yard which makes the size of this mower perfect for moving around the yard easily. I used the mulch feature this past summer which was a huge bonus! I think it really did wonders for my lawn! The only issue I have with it is that sometimes I have had a hard time getting it started, but that is probably just my unit, and my brother in law is going to look at it this winter before we get into the spring and grass cutting season again.

And if he can figure it out I have a 4 year warranty which came with the unit, I believe which is standard from Troy-Bilt. Absolutely I would recommend this mower to anyone looking for a sturdy mower that should last you at least a couple years, it can come in very handy when you need to clean up the yard for company, or as it did in my case, when I got back from 3 weeks on the road for work and my lawn was nearly up to my knees, ha ha.

So to kind of sum this up, it?s a great mower; I paid about $350 CDN for it at Canadian Tire, for all those fellow canucks out there, defiantly a great deal for me anyway!
